ISLAT Research Projects

Since its inception, the Institute for Science, Law & Technology (ISLAT) has shared its leading-edge information with policy researchers, business, government, academics, and the public at large.  It has also launched a variety of research projects dealing with biotechnology, information technology, and environmental safety.  Often, ISLAT has used a conference as a catalyst for a research area.  To maintain the synergy that results from the exchange of information and ideas, ISLAT has established working groups to continue policy development and devise solutions to questions raised by the conferences.
